Chiefs Tamiya 1/350 HMS King George V

[chief5437]

Hi guys

Old(ish) kit from tamiya, but a joy to build, no problems at all. I added a few extras, just for finer detail. I'd say the only thing that's really needed is the PE cranes, and as that set includes the railings it's a no brainer.

Id love to do a 1/350 HMS Hood next, just waiting for one at the right price, lol!

Here's some pics.

















Thanks for looking guys

Superb work mate. Love all the subtle weathering, looks like a proper ironclad. Great detail too.

Very nice work, she looks really great. The rigging looks excellent, along with the weathering. I am not sure but did you do a salt type wash on the lower hull?

These battle ships look the business.

Cheers buddy! All the weathering was done with Ultimate washes and oils

Very very nice indeed. Imagine manning one of those small guns forward or stern with the main guns firing. ( Sorry what did you say.)

It'd be pretty intense I imagine!
